Klappentext
Their two broken souls could complete one another if only they dared.
When, at sixteen, Zoey Beckett lost her parents in a plane crash, her aunt took her in. More than a decade later, Zoey still suffers from the resulting anxiety. She has protected herself from the pain of loss by keeping relationships distant. Now a teacher, she fills the emotional void by devoting herself to her students. But when the school board implements changes that negatively affect the schoolchildren, she refuses to be a part of it and resigns.
Tyler Farrington knows no fear. In his ten years as a foreign news correspondent, he has rushed into places most people would flee from. But at the apex of his career, years of covering violence and suffering have taken a toll, and he resigns. Desperate to recharge, he buys a mountain cabin in the charming small town of Cedar Creek and takes some extended time off.
When Tyler volunteers at the town's historic theater, he and the owner's niece, Zoey, work together to repair the crumbling plaster. From the start, their chemistry is undeniable. But so are their polar-opposite lives. The two broken souls could complete one another if only they dared. But it would take a leap of faith, and that might be one leap too many.
An endearing, sweet small-town romance about finding the courage to love.
